Plan Your 2026 Proficiency Testing Participation
Proficiency testing is an important tool for laboratories that need to monitor the validity of their results, compare their performance with other participants and provide evidence of technical competence.
Planning participation in advance allows laboratories to identify the most appropriate programmes for their scope, allocate resources and integrate proficiency testing activities into their annual quality strategy.
The SHAPYPRO 2026 Agenda provides a practical overview of the programmes scheduled throughout the year, making it easier to plan participation according to the laboratory’s technical needs.

Why Plan Your PT Participation in Advance?
Proficiency testing should form part of a structured laboratory quality strategy rather than being treated as an isolated activity.
Planning ahead helps laboratories select programmes aligned with their technical scope, distribute workload throughout the year and ensure that relevant areas of competence are covered within the planned period.
It also allows participation to be coordinated with internal quality controls, accreditation activities and technical reviews, making better use of the results obtained from each interlaboratory comparison.
